[PLUG] iPod on Linux

I am running Linpus Linux which Fedora based.
I installed GTK PoD but it doesn't recognise my iPod shuffle 2GB. (4th gen?)
Any suggestions. I tried going to GTK POD home page from
the software "About" page. They did not have the time to really explain
things to a newbie like me!
I have downloaded the file but since it is not an RPM I don't know how to
install it.
